I have a large, detached Victorian (solid walls). The CH has been flushed and the boiler serviced.
The heating switches off at 9pm.
Between 9pm and 7am the temperature in the house drops four to five degrees.
The next morning the heating switches on, however on a day like today (3.5C outside) it takes eight to ten hours to get the temperature of the house back up the four or five degrees that was lost. So the boiler is on solid for that time.
I work from home so heating has to be on all day.
How do I know if it is more efficient to keep the boiler on at night and perhaps turn the t/stat down one or two degrees instead? Or is that stupid?
Thanks, Andy
